He is an absolute beauty there are not many stayers that can do what he does. Can run time over 520 to 720 ripper of a dog.

Did not think I would see my Favorite Bitch name Mention on Data after all these years she was the greyhound that introduced me to Greyhound Racing went to school with grandson of the Trainer use to be able to watch all the replays on Sunday morning on 9's Sport show use to love watching her races at Harold Park over the 700+ sitting back last waiting to get in the long straight before making her run down the outside. Her style was the result of incident at Lithgow where she got hurt in a race early on in her career. after that she would drift back and settle behind the field. PS Except for one night at H/P when she Jump to the Front and led all the way to victory. THANKS DOUG Brings back happy memories.

This great staying dog deservedly won NSW Greyhound Of The Year last night
Congratulations to Ray & Maree Smith
They haven't been afraid to cart him up and down the Eastern Seaboard to take on all comers in the bigger races and has shown himself to be the best NSW greyhound for 2023
Good luck tomorrow night in the Fanta Bale.

WOW!!!
This is the greatest sight in greyhound racing. He just knew he had them covered, waited for the gap and went through the gears. So good to watch.
I cannot understand how 700m G1 races are worth $100k while the crash and bash 500m G1 races are worth $300k and more..... This is the pinnacle of the sport as far as I'm concerned.
(well done Shane Drummond too for getting 2nd and 3rd)

With all respect to the Stayers. The quality of the Australian Cup Final was far superior to that of the Fanta Bale Final and it has a longer history.

Yes the quality was better but the spectacle was inferior. Just another race decided by the boxdraw and the first bend. And history has nothing to do with it. How much history does the Phoenix and MDC have?

In a class of his own with another dominant win.
Make a good sire to consider for Valpolicella....
They would produce the greatest stayers of all time ;-)
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
